Gas tax is part of what you pay for a gas-up, but higher gas prices do not equal more money for better roads.
Gas taxes raise money to help fix the roads so it’s easy to think when gas prices go up, gas tax income goes up too but it just doesn’t work that way.
Presley Motes says, “You understand things have to be paid for at some extent but no one wants to pay out of their own pocket, especially when fuel is this high already.” Skinner says gas tax income is still growing because population growth puts more cars on the road. And while better gas mileage is a good thing, a high mileage car still uses the road but contributes less to maintaining that road.
